Chapter One Hundred Thirty Two: Knight Man
Everyone just continued to stare at this man that had arrived out seemingly of nowhere in complete stunned surprise. “You’re Knight?” Sam blurted out before he could stop himself as he climbed out of ‘Bee’s cab.
The man just grinned at the puzzled boy. “Hey, we don’t get to pick our code names kid, they just hand ‘em to us.”
Sam blinked at this as he looked the man over. He was vastly different from the previous agent, Hunter, who they had met at the border. Whereas Hunter seemed to be more the office type, this agent was more outgoing and clearly a field man. Mid forty’s with a rugged face and a wide smile, Sam liked this man almost immediately and felt at ease in his presence. Clearly he was more open and outgoing than agent Hunter had been.
“You’re the agent we’re suppose to meet up with?” Ron asked surprised as he looked from the man to the snow plow and back again. “But what are you doing here?”
Knight just smirked as he turned to face the older Witwicky. “Well, we were getting worried when we learned you were already a day behind and with the weather being what it is, I thought it best to see if we could meet up with you,” and he pointed at the snow plow behind him and the driver waved. “We’ve been methodically searching the towns one by one, hoping to catch up to you and not stuck in some ditch.”
“You nearly did!” Jazz laughed. “Optimus got stuck just a few miles back a ways. Popped a tire as a result.”
Knight just chuckled. “I take it that’s where he is since he’s not with you?” he asked looking over at Sam who nodded in confirmation. “I’ve got to say, I’m amazed you made it this far with the storm we just had,” Knight continued. “We were all in a panic when we learned you would be out in that, considering you were suppose to be here yesterday.”
“We are sorry about that,” Sam said with a small duck of his head. “The detours weren’t exactly planned.”
Knight simply laughed as he gave Sam’s shoulder a strong pat. “Hey, these things happen. May I ask what happened?”
Sam and Miles started snickering as Sam jerked a thumb over his shoulder. “Ask those two,” he said and both Prowl and Jazz startled at being suddenly addressed as Knight looked over at them.
“I see,” he drawled, still smiling. “It is very nice to finally meet some of the Autobots I’ve heard so much about. I have to say, when I first read that report; I nearly didn’t believe it until Keller’s office called me. You the team from Mission City?”
“These two are,” Sam said with a small gesture to Bumblebee and Jazz behind.
Knight gave a small salute to the two. “So who’s in charge here?” he asked with a small smirk. “Since I take it Optimus is in town getting a new tire.”
“Indeed,” Prowl spoke first as he pulled forward. “I am second in command to our leader Optimus Prime. As you said before, I am Prowl. This here to my left is second lieutenant-”
“Name’s Jazz! Nice to meet ya!” Jazz introduced himself with a cheerful tone, interrupting Prowl’s introduction. “Man are we glad to see you!”
“You mean glad to see his snowplow,” Bumblebee chuckled gaining the agent’s attention.
“You must be Bumblebee,” he said with a wide smile as he finally looked down at the yellow Camaro. “Keller told me that if I couldn’t find Optimus I was to find you.”
“What?” Everyone glanced over at Prowl surprised by his sudden yelp.
Knight just snickered. “Sorry Commander, but I was told if I couldn’t find Optimus I was to find Bumblebee because wherever he was, Sam Witwicky was sure to be as well.”
“Makes sense,” Jazz snickered, ignoring Prowl’s small huffs behind him.
Sam himself was blushing again as Ron and Steve both glanced over at the boy amused. “Agent Knight-”
“Just ‘Knight’,” the man smirked as he turned back to Sam. “The ‘agent’ part takes to long to say and doesn’t really matter way up here.”
“Indeed,” Jazz laughed.
“Er, anyway. The others have already gone to town, I’m afraid that we got a little… sidetracked.” Sam made a small gesture towards the “Forrest of Signs” and then a small tilt of his head towards Ron and Steve.
Knight’s smile just got bigger, if that was possible. “Taking in the sights huh?”
“May as well,” Ron shrugged. “We were already late, what was a few more moments?”
Knight just laughed. “Perfectly understandable,” he said with a grin. “Especially since technically you’re the ones in charge of this operation.”
“We are?” Miles asked surprised.
Knight just nodded. “I was told that Optimus Prime was in command and that while Captain Lennox and Sergeant Epps were military, this operation is completely under the Cybertronions jurisdiction, and young Sam as their representative, has full authority.”
Miles, Ron and Steve all just turned to stare at Sam who was looking at Knight in stupefied astonishment. “You’re kidding,” Sam finally managed to get out.
“Nope,” Knight grinned at him. “You are apparently one very important teenager.”
“Man,” Miles huffed as he slouched back in his seat and crossed his arms. “Why is it that Sam gets all the fun?”
“Hey, it’s not like I planed to buy a disguised alien robot as my first car you know,” Sam told him.
Bumblebee sighed as there was a sudden bark of laughter from the small Pontiac behind him. “Wait, wait, wait, wait!” Jazz laughed. “Sam bought you? For how much?”
“I’d rather not talk about it,” Bumblebee groused the same time Sam answered.
“Four thousand.”
“What?” Jazz let out peals of laughter while Prowl pulled up beside his small husband seeming totally lost and horrified at what he was hearing.
“What do you mean, ‘Sam bought him’?” he asked aghast.
Jazz just stifled his snickers as Sam blushed beet red and ‘Bee shifted his tires uncomfortable at the attention he was receiving. “Never mind,” the smaller mech laughed.
Knight was grinning madly by this point, as he looked the three disguised mechs over. “You guys are a blast,” he laughed, bringing the focus back to himself. “Now I understand why Keller spoke so highly of you.”
“Err… Sorry about that,” Sam said, his blush getting darker as he ducked his head.
“Perhaps we should go meet up with Optimus?” Ron stated with a smirk as he looked over at his thoroughly embarrassed son.
“Indeed,” Knight smiled. “We’ll go first.”
“Much appreciated,” Bumblebee sighed in relief.
“I do have one quick question though,” Knight spoke with a small frown as he turned back to Bumblebee before he looked over at Jazz. “Why are you two chained together?”
Sam blinked in surprise as he glanced over at the small lines that connected the second lieutenant to his guardian. “It’s a long story,” he sighed.
Knight looked back over at the boy and quirked his head as he smiled. “Like I said, a total blast.”
“Okay, what’s taking them so long?” Optimus muttered from where the majority of them had parked in a rather out of the way lot. Will had offered to take Optimus to the mechanic but Optimus had insisted on waiting for ‘Bee and the others and it had been well past time they should have arrived.
“I’m sure they’re coming,” Ratchet told him. “Knowing Ron, it will probably be a while.”
“Still it’s been almost half an hour. It can’t possibly take them that long to snap a few photos.” Optimus seemed worried and Ratchet was also becoming a bit anxious as time wore on.
“Do you think they hit one of those ‘caribou’?” Sideswipe asked fearfully.
“Doubt it,” Sunny said around a heavy sigh. “We would have heard something.”
“I’m just saying,” Sides began when there was a sudden hiss from Ironhide.
“People!” the black truck hissed and everyone instantly went silent
Everyone remained quiet until the group of locals finally moved on, but only after they had taken their time to gap at the strange group of cars before them. Some had even snapped some quick pictures of both Sunny and Sides. Both Lambos seemed to preen at the attention and Optimus could only silently groan at their love of attention. “Remind me send those two out into the desert for a recon mission when we get back,” he whispered to Ratchet. “Preferably on a wet, rainy day.”
Ratchet simply laughed as Will and Epps returned with arms full of plastic bags from the local supermarket. “They’re still not here?” Will asked surprised as he glanced about at the group before him.
“No, and they’re late,” Optimus huffed.
Epps rolled his eyes as he moved over to Barricade and raised an eyebrow. Barricade remained silent until Epps finally demanded. “Well?”
“Well what?” Barricade retorted.
“Are they coming or not?”
“How should I know that?” Barricade snorted annoyed. Epps opened his mouth to retort when there was the sudden sharp honk of a car horn behind them followed by an even louder horn that couldn’t have been any of their three missing mechs.
Everyone turned surprised to see not only ‘Bee, Jazz and Prowl approaching but a rather large snowplow behind them. “This can’t be good,” Optimus sighed as he looked over at the large winter machine.
“We’ll know soon enough,” Ironhide growled as he pulled up behind Will and Epps, ready to transform at a moments notice should the newest vehicle prove to be a threat.
He needn’t have worried however as the doors swung open and a human climbed down from the passenger side ad ‘Bee and the others pulled up before Optimus and the others. “Hey there! Miss us?” Jazz asked cheerfully as he moved next to Ratchet.
“As much as a bent gear,” Ironhide groused irately. “You certainly took your sweet time getting back here.”
“Ironhide,” Optimus snapped as the man from the snowplow began walking over and the group in the parking lot went silent until Jazz laughed.
“It’s all right!” he announced out loud to everyone present. “He knows about us!”
The man just smiled as Sam got out and quickly made his way beside him. “Everyone, this is Agent Knight. The man we were going to meet up in Alaska.”
“Oh?” Optimus looked at the man surprised. “I’m sorry if we’ve caused you undue frustration Agent Knight. I assure you that it was not our intention to be as late as we are but there were things beyond our control that-”
Optimus broke off as the man began laughing. “You have got to be Optimus Prime,” the man stated with a smirk, as he looked the large mech over. “You have the ‘political’ tone practically down flat.”
Optimus could only stare at the man surprised as Jazz and ‘Bee both began snickering. ‘Bee broke off surprised as Barricade pulled up next to him. “What’s with the nut?” Barricade asked curiously his attention still focused on the new arrival. “He’s nothing like the other human we met.”
Bumblebee could only laugh. “No, he much more fun. You should like him,” he told the ‘Con.
“Hmmm,” Barricade drawled as he looked back at the man who was still speaking to Optimus.
“As Mr. Witwicky stated, I’m agent Knight but just call me Knight,” he introduced himself again. “I thought you could use some help with the last half of your journey,” he stated as he jerked a thumb at the snowplow behind him once more.
“YES!” Everyone jumped as they looked over at the tiny mini cooper in surprise by the outburst. “What?” Perceptor asked them with a small huff. “The roads are bad enough as they are.”
“Indeed,” Knight snickered before he frowned. “I’m sorry, but I’m not familiar with yourself. I did not have a mini on my list.”
“Oh that’s just Perceptor,” Ironhide huffed. “Got a different alt mode on the way up.”
“Ah,” the man nodded as he made the connection. “And there are two extra’s here as well,” he observed as he looked over at the Lambo’s.
“Yeah, they kind of just tagged along,” Ratchet chuckled. “Sunny and Sides.”
“And you must be Ratchet,” Knight grinned as he looked over at the medical hummer. “As well as Wheeljack and Ironhide.” He paused as he turned towards the black and white Mustang and the large mobile command vehicle. “And you must be the Decepticons, Barricade and Soundwave.”
“Guilty as charged,” Barricade snickered as Soundwave’s door swung open and Frenzy poked his head out the door.
“We g-g-g-going or n-n-not?” he called out, a small smirk to his features as he took in Knight’s surprised expression. Clearly he had not realized that there were some smaller, humanoid mechs as well in this convoy.
Knight could only stare at Frenzy surprised and Frenzy, for it was Frenzy as the lighter optics indicated, stared back at the human before he was suddenly yanked back into the safety of Soundwave’s cab. Rumble glared out at Knight for a few moments before he reached out and slammed the door firmly shut. Knight glanced over at Sam with a small frown. “Was it something I said?” he asked distressed at the ‘Con’s behavior.
“Nah, you didn’t,” Barricade was the one to answer him. “We’re ‘Cons and therefore less trusting of new faces. Especially since Frenzy, Rumble’s brother, was experimented on by that Sector Thirteen. He’s very protective of him.”
Knight turned to look back at where Frenzy and Rumble had been, a small frown to his expression. “I see,” he stated quietly and Sam quickly looked for something to distract the man and everyone around them as both ‘Cade and Soundwave had gone rather quiet. Well, quieter for Soundwave since he rarely spoke as it was.
“Will,” Sam sighed as the two rangers approached and Knight took his attention away from the larger ‘Con to greet the other two.
He nodded as Will and Epps finally made their way over. “Captain Lennox,” Knight greeted as he made a quick salute that was returned before he shook the man’s hand. “Keller has spoken highly of you.”
“Unfortunately I can’t say the same,” Will said with a small frown as Knight held on to his hand a few moments longer than simple politeness dictated.
Ironhide counted the seconds and for each one that passed, the more annoyed he became and he began growling softly, to quiet for the humans to hear but Ratchet and Optimus both took note and each one of them smiled internally. Epps also took note of the prolonged handshake and glanced over at the snarling Top Kick. ‘This trip just got interesting,’ he through amused before he looked back over at his friend and the rather friendly agent Knight.
Will himself figured he was simply imagining things before he got back to business. “But we certainly are glad to see you.”
“Or as ‘Bee has already stated, our snowplow,” Knight said with a large grin as he finally dropped Will’s hand.
Epps just laughed. “That too!” he said with a large grin.
“Well, anything I can do to help,” Knight returned the smile. “That’s just Eddie in the drivers seat. He’s not an agent or even military but he’s trustworthy.”
They all glanced at the old man still seated behind the wheel and Eddie waved at them again as they waved back. “Do we make him nervous?” Optimus asked worriedly as it seemed the other man was not about to exit his vehicle any time soon.
“Nah,” Knight shook his head. “He’s just staying where it’s warm.”
“Speaking of,” Prowl spoke up again as he pulled forward. “Frenzy is correct. Perhaps we should be on our way again.”
“Indeed,” Optimus agreed. “We should make it to the base by tomorrow morning.”
“Your ship is already waiting for you as well,” Knight announced with a smirk. “The captain is under strict orders to wait for you before departing.”
“Ship?” Sam gasped as he looked over at the agent surprised.
“Mmm,” Knight snickered. “How else would you get up to the ice caps? But we have to sort of get there first.” He turned to Optimus. “I’m of the understanding that you need another tire.”
“Regrettably,” Optimus sighed, his whole frame slouching on his remaining tires.
“Then that will be our first stop,” Knight snickered before he turned back to the others. “Captain Lennox-”
“Will, please,” Will interrupted with a smile.
“Will,” Knight nodded before he glanced over at Epps. “And would you prefer ‘Robert’ or just ‘Rob’?”
“Epps works fine for me,” Epps snickered.
Knight blinked. “Right then. Epps it is. Shall we get that tire while Sam and the others take a quick break?”
“Hallelujah,” Miles sighed as he turned towards the nearest building. “I’ll be ready in ten minutes.”
“More than ten,” Sam corrected. “I’m going to duck into the convenience store.”
“We already got some supplies,” Epps told him as he reached back for the few bags he and Will had gotten.
“Did you get the mountain dew?” Sam asked him with a small tilt of his head.
“Um… we got coke.”
“I’ll be in the store,” Sam chuckled as he turned towards the buildings as well.
“And we’d best take a much needed washroom break,” Steve chuckled as he turned to follow his son.
Knight just nodded as he made a small gesture towards the center of town. “Shall we?”
Will just blinked in surprise before he nodded and began following the other man. “We’ll be right back,” he called out. “Epps, you coming?”
“Nah!” Epps called back over his shoulder. “Going back inside where it’s warm.”
“Okay!” Will shrugged as he and Knight quickly disappeared around the corner. Eddie, the others could see, had pulled out a magazine and seemed content with just waiting.
“He seems nice,” Ratchet chuckled as the two men left.
“I don’t like him,” Ironhide growled instantly.
“Ironhide, you don’t like anyone,” Ratchet drawled.
“I am inclined to agree with him,” Prowl announced as he pulled alongside his superior.
“What?” Jazz yelped surprised. “Since when do you two see optic to optic?”
“That human is very suspicious,” Prowl insisted. “He seems…”
“Way to cheerful and helpful?” Ironhide supplied.
“Exactly,” Prowl agreed.
“I thought it was normal human behavior,” Wheeljack stated puzzled.
“Happy is one thing, but that guy is just way too cheerful,” Ironhide snarled.
“Oh can we all try and refrain from being paranoid for once, hmm?” Optimus groaned as he listened to the two and their suspicions. “We only just met the man.”
“Exactly,” Ironhide insisted. “We only just met the man, how do we know we can trust him?”
“They’re starting to sound like us,” Barricade said loudly to Soundwave and the two Autobots growled at the statement.
“Barricade,” Bumblebee said warningly.
“What?” Barricade just laughed.
Bumblebee just sighed as he looked back over at where Ironhide and Prowl were stating that they should keep a close optic on this “Knight” character. “One more day,” he muttered to himself. “Just one more day…”
“Thank you,” Will thanked the clerk as he began rolling the new tire out of the store.
“Here, let me,” Knight instantly offered and Will quickly stepped back as the other man took over.
“Thanks,” he nodded as he followed the other man back down the road.
“No problem,” Knight took a moment to grin at him. “So tell me, what are they like?”
“Ironhide and the other?” Will blinked in surprise. “Like anyone else I guess,” he admitted with a shrug. “They have superior technology but that’s to be expected considering.”
“But what are they like personally?” Knight pressed. “That Jazz seems very nice.”
“Yeah, Jazz is more laid back than the others,” Will smirked. “Very different from Prowl.”
“And Prowl is the second in command,” Knight continued. “Seems very stern, that one.”
“Very by the book according to Ironhide,” Will admitted.
Knight paused and glanced over at Will, one eyebrow raised. “And Ironhide is…?”
Will blinked in surprise. “Oh, Ironhide is Optimus’ weapons specialist.”
“And according to the report, your personal body guard,” Knight drawled with a quick glance at Will once again. “You seemed to achieve quit the prestige if you need a continual guard, and one of such a high rank at that.”
Will frowned, a little disturbed by how the conversation was going. “Until they have dealt with Starscream as well as Sector Thirteen, we’ve all been on our guard,” he explained slowly.
“Ah yes, Starscream was the only Decepticon to have survived the battle in Mission City, was he not?”
Will’s eyes narrowed. “Along with Barricade,” he said slowly.
“Of course,” Knight nodded as he rolled the tire along. “How did he end up with the Autobots?”
“Does it matter?” Will asked.
Knight shrugged again. “Not to me it doesn’t. Just was curious that’s all.”
“You seem to ask a lot of questions,” Will stated with a frown as they turned a corner.
“What can I say?” Knight chuckled. “I’m a naturally curious fellow.”
Will frowned but they had already arrived back at the parking lot where Sam and Miles were returning, a few bags of their own between them. “You got it!” Sam stated with a smile.
“Yup,” Knight grinned. “We’ll just slap this on and then we’ll be ready to go in no time.”
“Finally,” Perceptor huffed from where he was next to ‘Bee. “With the snowplow, it should be nothing but smooth sailing from here on out, right? What’s the worse that could happen?”
There was a groan from the two teenagers as well as ‘Bee and Barricade. “Did that ‘Bot just challenge the powers of worse?” Barricade groaned.
“Unfortunately,” ‘Bee sighed.
“Quick, someone find a peace of wood we can knock on,” Sam stated looking around quickly.
Knight just raised an eyebrow as he looked at the four. “And just what are you afraid of?” he asked them curiously.
“We don’t know,” Bumblebee admitted with a sigh.
“And that’s the scary part!” Barricade finished as Sam quickly found fence post and knocked on it. They could only hope that it would work this time and nothing else would happen on this trip.
